Shadders Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Great to see the Isle of Wight back in the NL, but that logo is horrific.

Islander15 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 [ Great to see the Isle of Wight back in the NL, but that logo is horrific. Looks like the logo of a children's party entertainer. Where's the warrior connection? The people on the logo are warriors. Exactly what I thought.... thought Adam Ellis would be there Adam will be PL and EL only. James Cockle is the second signing for the Warriors We needed a number 1 and I wouldn't be surprised to see most of them at the same team they were at this year. Plus he seems to go better around big tracks to me. I would've liked Tim Webster but I won't be surprised if he doesn't ride this year again. Welcome to James and welcome back to BDJ. I'd like something along the lines of Widman at 2, Marc Owen at 5 with a 3 pointer and Cottham at reserve. But some new names, to supplement the old, would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Warriors? Indeed my faux pas - we all make 'em! Just to reiterate that Andy will respond to all your posts that raise queries as soon as he can but don't worry if it takes a little while i.e. don't expect it to be instantaneous! Meanwhile keep posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanF Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) My son's high school football team are the Warriors. Much better logo. http://northcobbathletics.com/football Edited December 3, 2015 by AlanF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 James Cockle is the second signing for the Warriors Actually think its not a bad signing. Was going well around Kings Lynn before injury ended his season. Should clock double figure most weeks at home which is what you want from a number 1.

foamfence Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Going for a team of up and coming youngsters I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Going for a team of up and coming youngsters I see. Plenty of signings to be made yet. That said first season back I would think a team that is solid / mid table would be considered a success? Win most at home, avoid any embarrassing results and start to build the fan base back up I would suspect is the priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Cross Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Great to see speedway back at Smallbrook. Very best of luck to Brendan Johnson. He deserves a good season after last years nonsense from Eastbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela1 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I remember when you guys had tom brown didn't he average over 9 when on the I.o.w and pretty sure James could do the same for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Lol they clearly made the right choice when he returned and score 2 points from 3 rides 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countershaftcounter Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 he's been around so long, all the gear and no idea. He'll probably pack it in if it's not going his way (again) and say "his head's not in it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Next signing is Matt Saul. Welcome to the Isle of Wight and NL! According to the IOW's miserable excuse for a website they've signed "Matt Soul" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayPortal Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hey guys, sorry I have been quiet for a couple of days on here. As the account is new I have to earn the credentials it would seem to post more often I have made a note of all your questions/opinions etc and will look into them. Yes, Matt Saul has just been announced as Wightlink Warriors 3rd signing on a 3.00 average. He joins Brendan Johnson (6.21) and James Cockle (8.59). Hi John, still not liking the site then? It is a working progress, we'll get there. I've spent a lot of time around Brendan recently setting up his media channel. He's pretty hungry and up for it guys. And remember he's still only 23, so plenty of fuel left in that tank. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 It wasn't the type of team I was expecting IOW to use. Matt Saul scored 0 in the championship of Sussex last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Matt Saul what i have seen of him a very poor signing,maybe he can up his game on a big track.but i doubt it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 i thought i'd take a squint at the new logo to see what the fuss is about. looks more like something to do with nascar than anything to do with speedway but what is impressive is the army of sponsors behind the team. can't wait to come and visit one of my favourite places to watch speedway again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
